All evidence points in the direction. However, the question remains open whether this was an iossue of tunic length or the way it was worn (ie belted). Personally, I would go with the assumption that most Roman tunics of the Principate era were fairly long - calf-length or so - and that soldiers and other people who had to do manual labour or move about a lot would belt them high while civilians wore them lower or even unbelted.
